And actually beyond that, the process that is supposed to take care of time sensitive emergencies is to be ignored, I.e. emergency use authorizations.
The EUA process simply allows manufacturers to build out the products while they are testing, as opposed to doing it in serial:

In general, COVID vaccines have been far more extensively studied than any other vaccine has ever been.
There is a problem - with every single possible authorized medicine - that there may be long-term longitudinal issues that are uncovered, especially when the entire world is the population study.
By what measure?
Absolutely ridiculous logic. Minor side effects of a life-saving vaccine is absolutely not something that should be allowed for other products that wish to jump regulations and safety.
If left unchecked, not counting for the fact that getting covid once does not preclude you from getting it again, that would mean roughly 140,000,000 of the people alive as of 2019 would die from covid related complications during their lifetimes.
If it were 100x worse, it would eradicate the human race.
Right now, the death toll is approximately 6.3 million. I think a few million early choking and gagging deaths by suffocation is worth the small risk of having a complication from the vaccine, of which, nearly 2 years in so far the worst complication is an inflamed heart.
